After 24 years with the district and six as superintendent, Norris School District superintendent Kelly Miller will be retiring at the end of the year. Board trustees didn t look far when choosing a new superintendent: Cy Silver, a recent Norris board trustee and Kern High School District administrator, will take the reins from Miller on Jan. 1.
The announcement that Miller would be stepping down from the northwest elementary district with 3,900 students and Silver would be stepping up was made at a Nov. 18 board meeting. At the meeting, president Amanda Frank said the board made the decision so that the district would have a smooth transition.
